River Run | A slight AU PSL
"You’ve thought about this, haven’t you?"
Her question echoes in his mind as Jamie sits awake, crouched by the fire in the hearth wearing nothing as his eyes watch the flames dance. He'd been too restless to sleep, leaving Claire to the bed while he paced, thinking. He'd lost everything he had to Stephen Bonnet, and now his fingers rub together while he gathers his thoughts to speak.
"I ken being in this very place, the idea of owning slaves turns yer stomach. Mine as well. But we're no strangers to doing a wee bit that makes us uncomfortable if it can help in the long run, are we not?"
He'd spent many a night in a brothel with Charles Stuart, aggravated about it, and yet trying to do his part to stop the Uprising.
"Jocasta might've made an underhanded move in declaring me her heir in front of witnesses, but maybe we can do some good w'it, Sassenach. Find a way to undermine even the law." You can take the smuggler and outlaw out of Scotland, apparently, but it seems his mind will always drift back to such things eventually.

"You're able to undress me just as quickly," she points out with a smile, and they both know that's true. He can have her undressed in a heartbeat and somehow with no clothing harmed in the process. It probably helps now that there's a zip on the back of her corset, but details.

"Are you tired?"
no subject
But he does a bit of touching for pleasure as well, one thumb gliding over a nipple until it becomes a hard pebble.
no subject
"Are you trying to get me to kill you tonight, Jamie?" She asks, tipping her head all the way back to try and look at him. That just so happens to lift both breasts out of the water.
no subject
"What is it that will keep me from yer wrath?" he asks against her ear.
no subject
"More massaging might do the trick," she suggests, but where? She'll leave that up to him.
no subject
Which is why there's no warning when his hand deftly moves under the water again, between her thighs and caressing to find every spot that makes her gasp his name. He does move slowly, not wanting to be rough with her before she's ready, but he's intent.
"I ken ye willna kill me now," he murmurs.
no subject
"Probably not, no," she admits, hips pressing desperately to his fingers, "Not tonight, likely."
There's all the other nights for that.
no subject
"Ye need my touch, Sassenach. My hand, finding every place on your body to make ye whimper and moan my name." His voice is low, teeth coming down very lightly on her earlobe, tugging.
no subject
"Get me out of this damn thing," she whispers, gripping his arm harder. "And get me on the bed."
He's too far away from her like this, with too much between them.
no subject
So she doesn't get their bed soaking wet, obviously.
But he also doesn't give her time to protest, his head ducking between her thighs to finish what he started.
no subject
"Filthy," is all she can breathe out, smiling widely at him. She'd not change him for the world.
no subject
"I hear no'a complaint from my wife," he says before nuzzling her cheek.
no subject
"Why would I ever complain about you?"
Oh, she has her complaints now and then, but right now she couldn't think of one if her life depended on it. Her head tilts as she looks over at the tub.
"I was hardly in there before you distracted me. Why don't you get in, Jamie? I'll actually wash you."
no subject
"I ken I've been on many the receiving end of yer complaints," he says, though he says it fondly, with a smile. Once he's naked, it's clear that pleasuring his wife was quite enjoyable, but he lowers himself into the tub, pleased to find that it's still comfortably warm.
no subject
Once she's at the side of the tub, she leans over to give him a kiss.
"You've earned yourself some relaxation."

Her hand travels lower, to his abdomen, and she hums thoughtfully.
"We might not have a large enough tub, but I do wonder if there's not a secluded bend in the river."
For reasons.
no subject
no subject
"Yes. Bathing. Like this, but both of us, together," she says, perhaps a bit slowly.
no subject
The only thing that manages to leave his mouth as she moves her hand is a ragged gasp of her name.
no subject
Naked still, there's no danger of clothing getting wet as she leans over the tub to kiss him as she strokes him, balancing her weight with her free hand on the edge of the tub. She's not the most coordinated woman, but in moments like these, she can be.
